Tonight, on public radio's Studio 360, one of my favorite ways to spend an hour on Sunday evenings while catching up on reading the Sunday newspaper, was a reprise of a program I first heard about a year ago about the art scene in Omaha, Nebraska. (btw, did you know that Bright Eyes is out of Omaha?) When I was a kid, Omaha was the nearest sizable city, and it was always an adventure to make a foray there perhaps once a month. Later on, when visiting the homestead in the 80s, Cousin Jeannie took me around to the downtown lofts, galleries and other aspects of the now-gentrified cultural oasis.
Then about an hour later, while listening to OPBMusic.org's live stream, I heard the newest from Joshua James, an indie neo-folk-type guy from nearby Lincoln, Nebraska. (Should I also mention that one of my favorite indie groups is Cloud Cult from not-so-distant -- from the Iowa farm locale -- rural Minnesota? Give a look/listen below.)
